Harlem Furniture leases Castleton space

August 30th, 2007

Harlem Furniture is leasing space in a portion of the former Cub Foods and Flower Factory space near Castleton Square mall.
According to a statement from Melissa Hancock of Sitehawk Retail Real Estate, the 32,788 square feet is at 5651 Castleton Corner Way.
Broker Fred Feinblum represented Harlem, the statement said. Larry Davis of Sitehawk represented the owner of the Castleton space, Thomas English Retail Real Estate.


The RoomPlace at Harlem Furniture announced earlier this month it is moving into Central Indiana with two locations. The company, based in Lombard, Ill., announced it would put a store in a former Frank’s Nursery, 5651 E. 86th St. in Castleton, and construction has started on a building along U.S. 31 on Indianapolis’ Far Southside.
It was not immediately known whether the 86th Street location was a separate location from the Castleton Corner Way site.
The RoomPlace was attracted by Indianapolis’ proximity to the company’s central warehouse in Woodridge, Ill., “which allows for faster delivery times for our customers,” marketing manager Valerie Berman said earlier this month.
The RoomPlace added two stores last year and two this year. A Mishawaka store opened in February.
The 19-store chain has other locations in Merrillville, Chicago and Northeast Illinois. Sam Berman founded the company in 1912, and it remained a one-store operation until 1985. The Berman family still runs the business.
